Met up with the MeetUp group for a bike ride to Lyden, WA. Map of the route can be found here: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path...n-to-Lynden-WA

We met up at the Peach Arch Parking lot around 9:30am. There were 20 of us in total. From there, we bike all the way along 0 avenue to Aldergrove. That's an AWESOME ride. It was quiet, not a lot of traffic at all. Once we cross the border at Aldergrove, there was more traffic but it was still relatively quiet. The group stopped at Nuthouse Grill but we (another friend, DH and I) went to a Mexican restaurant next door since we didn't want to leave our bikes unattended. Food was average but Daniel really liked his burrito. The beef was very tender.

The ride itself was relatively easy. There weren't a lot of hills. And with our road bikes, we managed to go really fast downhill to build up momentum for the uphill part along 0 ave. Fastest I got was 59km/hr before my bike felt squirrely. DH thinks I should hold on to my frame with my thighs next time. It could be my riding style or the shorter stem. Don't know.
